Any more news on the London meet?

I'd be up for that.

Mr D...what say you?

Sat 4th Oct will be London (meeting place will be Harvey Nics 5th floor wine bar, I'll pick up tab). So easy to get from Brighton to London via Victoria or London Bridge. We can have a Brighton meet on the Sunday ;)

Mel, you do not think I would let you come over here and not take you to Brighton do you??

What time?

Not sure...I posted a message on the UK fb page so I will post when I know...or Ciaran might pop in and post. I don't have specific plans for my visit to London so a bf gathering sounds great!

LOL...I'm fine with whatever we do. Brighton sounds like it should be on the agenda.

Per Ciaran
 

start time is 1.30pm for 2pm at Harvey Nics wine bar on 4th Oct.

Yes, Mel has got it right - Harvey Nics wine bar at 1.30pm / 2.00pm on Sat 4th Oct. Attendance for B/F meets in London can vary widely (can often be very small) but I'm confident we'll get a reasonable crowd this time as quite a few have indicated to me offline that they will attend so, if even half do, it will be good.

In mid-Sept, I'll consider dining options if people would like an early evening meal. I have a perfect place in mind as it is reasonably priced, stylish, walking distance to Soho (for those who want to party later) and has an innovative ordering system which can be fun:

It's official - flight and hotel booked and confirmed!! London or bust!!

10/25 - 11/2 !!!

Ciaran, I will be travelling up to London to visit with Mel and while I am certain the restaurant you have in mind is amazing, is there somewhere nearby for those who cannot eat from their menu?

Mmmm... coffee! What exactly is the far South? Lol Brighton is as far South as I've been!

I completely misread what you wrote lol.. ahhh. Birmingham is only an hour and a half
£12 train ride. That's like driving to the grocery store here lol I'll be there visiting my 7 yr old son and currently don't have non-momma activities planned.... so, who knows.. a trip north could well happen!

It's pointed out to me oft times, by my bff who lives in NJ, that our distances are pissant small to you lot! :cheesy:

Y'should bring the sproglette up here to ride donkeys on the beach. :hangloose:

Six and half years later and I still find them rather short! And still not use to only having one time zone!

Yes. Not sure how well you know London but this restaurant is in Lower Regent Street so there is a tremendous range of food places within very close walking distances and catering to all price ranges and tastes - though, of course, it's best to be guarded of the tourist traps that abound in this part of London.

I'm happy to take alternative suggestions if this place doesn't appeal. The food here is good but, despite my Japanese sister-in-law and half-Japanese nephews, Japanese food would not be my first choice. However, I think this place could work well as the dining tables also combine as computer tablets through which you place your order and so on. Sounds a bit weird but it is good fun and good way for people to get to know each other.

Moving to London in just a week to study, going to live there for at least three years- I'm so exited!

Does anyone have any good recomendations on where to go an what to do there?

One week away from my arrival in London. I leave San Diego for Munich on Saturday and am not sure how much time I will be on BFP so come on out and join the fun October 4th!
